These 4 silver coins are special to me because of condition and were all found on public property in different locations This was my first 8 Reales in a sidewalk strip in my first 6 months of detecting IMG_1627.webp

This is my other 8 Reales that was found across a bayou 60 yards from a Fort and I also found a early 18th century French cannonball and absolutely nothing elseIMG_0501.webp

Nice coins Truth. Picking four favs is not an easy thing to do for me.
But here are my four as it stands today. Ask me again tomorrow and they might be different :laughing7:

This G. Washington portrait cufflink is my most valuable find and top favorite for obvious reasons.

This patriotic Rattlesnake & Stars button is on the list because I had wanted to dig one for years, and I now wear a tattoo of it on my arm.

This 1661 hammered silver King Leopold is on the list because it is my oldest coin. I found the 1708 Spanish silver the same day on the same site.

My fourth and final find is this Civil War era militia belt plate because I had to work really hard to get it out of the ground and I think it's pretty cool.
